This October, Blissdom Canada – a social media conference for women – will be held in Toronto again. This will be the third year it has run, and if I don’t go, it will be the third year I’ll be jealous of everyone attending (I mean, come on – last year Jordan Knight was there!)

Unfortunately, finances prevent me from obtaining a ticket in the usual manner, so instead I entered a contest held by the lovely @clippo (AKA Alexandria of “I Don’t Blog, But If I Did…”) where she will be giving away a conference ticket. Luckily, I am now one of the four finalists, but I need YOUR help. Yes, YOU!

Below, I’m posting the video entry that I submitted to Alex, but I need you to go to (EDIT: CLICK HERE TO VOTE!!!!)her blog and vote for my entry THERE by leaving a comment saying how awesome my entry is (or, you know, just saying “I vote for #1 – Cynthia”) Every vote that I get will then give me one entry into the final draw, and a chance to win the ticket. So, if I get, say, 5 zillion votes, I will get 5 zillion entries. If I’m the only one who votes for me, then I only get 1 chance. Now, if The Hunger Games has taught us anything, it’s that you can still “win” with only one entry, but my chances sure would be better with 5 zillion entries… or at least more than one.

So please: watch my silly video, go to Alex’s site, and VOTE FOR ME! Social media is a huge part of my marketing for my books, and I really want to soak up everything I can from these sessions, do some networking, and maybe – just maybe – have a little fun.
